Thanks for the useful info my man, nice to see such an open attitude from them.Indeed, like someone mentioned earlier, maybe it's time to move from the ANACS era. Happy to see that they are interested in "our" coins.

Ryan, after chatting to anonymousminer & coblee in person this weekend at the New York MCC, I shall definitely be getting in touch with you re slabbing a whole bunch of coins and possible custom labelling on my next visit State-side early-ish next year most likely.

Ryan, welcome to the forums. I'm glad you and your company are taking this sector so seriously. I have one of your newer crypto slabbed coins and was very pleased how it turned out. Keep up the good work 👍

Hi Ryan:

I have had a number of coins slabbed by you guys over the years. For cryptos, can you guys make sure to put the hologram side on the front of the slab? I get half back one way and half back the other. Need to have better consistency here in the slabbing room. The hologram is the key feature of cryptos, so they should go on the front/obverse side.

I think most would argue it should be the other way around.

I'm sure each has a preference, but I think by and large most do want the hologram showing on the front. Regardless ICG needs to pick one way and stick to it.

It’ll be the way Charlie’s were done going forward. (Unless requested by the customer) Front of the coin, front of the slab. The hologram should not face the front.

Good evening all. As anonymousminer has said, we will be placing the hologram on the "reverse" side of the slab unless requested otherwise by the customer. We have many customers who we have slabbed the reverse side as the obverse for many types of coins due to better eye appeal. We are happy to meet any customer requests. The label layout itself will be consistent moving forward and will match Charlie's auctioned examples. If you have coins already slabbed by us you may send them back and we will update your labels and put whichever side on the coin up as you like. All we ask is that you cover the shipping costs and we will cover all the materials. We are developing a new label for crypto coins so you may want to wait on any corrections to existing coins until we release the label.

I prefer the holo on the reverse too. Show me only silver or gold (or copper) on the front.
